Placement
The Absolute Wall speaker is designed for easy
placement. It is important to know that small
changes in speaker positioning can have an
effect on sound quality. Placing the speakers
closer to corners will increase bass output, but
also may make them sound "boomy." Placing
them farther away from corners and ceilings will
tend to flatten response and improve the stereo
imaging.
For stereo systems or when using the Absolute
Wall Speakers as front main speakers for your
home theater system try to position the speaker
1.5 times as far away from you as they are from
each other. (Fig. 2)
Here are some tips for incorporating your
Absolute Wall speakers in a surround system:
Place whatever center channel speaker you are
using either immediately above or below the TV.
Mount the rear or back speakers in as close to an
equilateral triangle as possible with the listening
position and at the same height, or higher than,
the front channels.
Please be sure to run your receiver's speaker
setup and optimization system. Usually a
microphone is included. Use it and check your
work when possible. Sometimes small changes
in microphone position and room furnishings can
make huge changes in results.
Connections
Grilles
Before connecting your Absolute Wall speakers
to your receiver/amplifier, turn off the AC power
to avoid potential damage to your components.
Take a look at the terminals on the back of your
speakers. They can accept raw wire, banana
plugs, BFA, banana or spade lugs. Note that
these terminals should be tightened only by hand,
as excess force can break them. We recommend
your speaker wire be at least 16 guage.
If connecting with bare wire, prepare the wires by
stripping 1/4" - 3/4" of insulation from the ends
and tightly twist the exposed strands. Make sure
there are no loose strands that could touch the
other terminal.
Finally, connect your speakers to your amplifier or
receiver, making sure that the speakers are "in
phase", see the online owner's manual for more
detail.
We have included grilles with the Absolute Wall
speakers. To attach them, carefully line up the
four pins on the back of the grille with the rubber
grommets on the front of the speaker. Fig.3
